A few days had passed. The police identified the owner of the number that sent the message and moved toward the location.
This location turned out to be the coordinates of the prison cell where Lukas was held.

Indeed, when they arrived, the place was correct. Assuming that Lukas was responsible, they opened an investigation on him.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdkQfS2Vph
The police called out, “Is Lukas here?”
Lukas got up from the ground. He was surprised to see the police and his wife Emma. For a moment, he felt joy — maybe he would be released…
But instead, a new investigation was to be opened against him.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ3mlsSbMB
Emma looked at Lukas angrily. Her face was full of hatred.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI8NxCtgTv
Without understanding what was happening, Lukas walked toward the officers and said,
“Here I am… Am I being released, or…?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GJN5ZtHBJ
One of the officers replied,
“No. You will serve more time. You are sentenced to a heavier punishment for impersonating your son and tricking us with that message.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxOdWyefxI
Lukas said in shock,
“What message? I didn’t do anything.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWoYU5DMMd
The officer looked him up and down. Judging by his appearance and condition, he looked at Lukas with disgust and didn’t believe him at all.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTTMAb8V3L
———
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66WDKvEaC4
Lukas no longer knew what to say.
No one was left who believed him.
No one…
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XFaG0QBuR
Days seemed to stop passing. Lukas had gotten used to the torment he faced in prison.
Wake up, prepare breakfast, tidy all the beds, massage Frank’s head… so many tasks. If he didn’t do them, Frank would abuse him.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzzPR5Wzg8
This situation was truly painful, but if he retaliated, things would only get worse.

One month later
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoyeScdsdb
It was Monday. Lukas would usually wake up early and do his tasks, but today was visitation day with Emma. So he did nothing.
Frank had bruised his eye and split his brow. He was going to the visit in that condition. Despite everything, he still loved his wife Emma…
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ou6HnpgSG
Emma hadn’t seen him for a while. This time she felt pity for her husband; his condition, the wounds on his eye, the dullness on his face… She was sad for the first time.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXD5zVD8JQ
Emma: “What happened to you like this?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqEtaQicDz
Lukas: “Daily routine.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRrKIBH6HE
Emma: “What?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Q4PNiObB
Lukas: “Never mind. You talk.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoQhjPGiGR
Emma: “About what?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCWXLsHeXB
Lukas: “Has Jake been found? Why did he shoot me?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbRb4W5koo
In a trembling and sorrowful voice, Emma said:
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOhvYnfCNG
Emma: “Jake… was found dead.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaLpa58nWz
Hearing this, Lukas fainted. Although Jake was not his biological son, he loved him like his own.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnMCfILh4R
After waking up shortly after, he immediately began asking questions:
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY43IvAhPN
Lukas: “How did he die? When? Who did it?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7gaBv0Ukl
Emma: “He jumped from a mountainous area… He committed suicide. Our son… committed suicide…”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitomLGrDny
Emma began sobbing uncontrollably.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsIoC4e3Uz
Police: “That’s enough, the visit is over.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNNBuVROsW
As Emma left, she winked at Lukas and made a hand sign. When they first got married, they used to show each other a ‘lock’ hand sign. Whenever something happened, they did that. So there was definitely something going on, but they couldn’t speak because of the police presence.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmmNlDyc8g
At first, Lukas didn’t understand — but then he realized…
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zuJu9MCtz
There was definitely something behind this.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMcNtZiiLY
Not knowing what to do, Lukas asked the police to allow him to call an old friend.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zUb7v3UEv
“A person should find a friend to lean on when they have troubles.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveyHHSpq2d
Lukas’s friend Alex was his blood brother.
One day while playing a match in the neighborhood, Lukas fell and cut his hand.
Alex started laughing. Lukas didn’t understand why.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3WnGbFMAr
Lukas: “Why are you laughing?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiZRkKyJVb
Alex: “Now we’re blood brothers,” he said and took a piece of glass and cut his wrist.
Lukas looked on in surprise, not understanding.
Alex held Lukas’s hand and pressed his bleeding wrist to Lukas’s bleeding hand, saying:
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZYnlQu0HR
Alex: “No matter what happens, we are blood brothers.”
From that day on, their friendship lasted a lifetime.

Since Lukas had just met with Emma, he wasn’t allowed to call again by phone. But he needed to call.
He decided to ask Frank for something for the first time.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjOaA4Xh3n
Lukas: “I need a phone.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAFRQ9VKiG
Frank: “Haha, why?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPuDPWlTAD
Lukas: “Leave that to me. I’ll do whatever you want.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lrVYH69zJ
Frank took a phone out of his pocket.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fzC6O6zsX
Frank: “Here, take it.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWBt0ayxgK
Lukas asked in surprise:
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaD9IaB4L7
Lukas: “No conditions?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU93MiM83r
Frank: “I heard your conversations. You’re in a tough spot. Family is everything,” he said quietly, holding back tears and walked away.
How did he hear the conversation?
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6hlmysmd4
Frank was probably someone devoted to his family…
I wonder what he had experienced to end up here?
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQUMmVWoUh
As soon as Lukas took the phone, he immediately went to the restroom and started calling.
No one answered the phone.
He had lost hope…
Until the phone rang a while later.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20YDGHmbdf
Alex: “Hello, who is this?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvc5pMqVVU
Lukas: “I’m… Lukas. Your blood brother.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC28mb0ksMt
Alex: “What?! My friend…”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zPC15xBHq
Lukas: “Alex, you have to get me out of prison.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjULj11YBR
Alex: “What prison?!”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMiHLcPrmx
Lukas: “I’ll tell you later. I have to get out of this damn place.”
